Abstract
A display rack and hook combination comprising a rack hung on a pre-existing wire frame. The rack has a plurality of spaced slots therein in horizontally and vertically aligned rows. Support fixtures having products suspended therefrom may be inserted into these slots. The support fixtures are of various shapes and have face places configured to snap into the slots and hold the fixtures in a firm and stabilized manner so products can be hung therefrom.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to display systems; and more particularly, to display racks and hook combinations including racks having display hooks mounted thereon on which products are suspended.
- 2. Related Art
- Display racks that are set up in retail stores or the like at the point of sale are well known. Such racks generally are self standing units having a back wall or the like with a plurality of spaced holes or openings into which one end of a support hook is inserted. The hook then extends outwardly from the wall, having an elongated portion for extending through an opening in a display card or the like. A product to be displayed is mounted on the card and, in this manner, a plurality of such products may be displayed to the public at the point of sale. Of course, any suitable product having means allowing it to be suspended from such hooks may be so mounted.
- In U.S. Pat. No. 4,671,417, there is disclosed a hook and display panel combination for suspending products therefrom. In this patent, the hook has a gripping finger that extends into a slot on a corrugated cardboard panel. There is no bottom support to the face place of the hook to the panel. Thus, when a product suspended from such a hook is removed therefrom, the hook may be dislodged from the panel.
- In U.S. Pat. No. 5,464,103, there is disclosed a display rack having a back wall with a plurality of spaced openings therein. A plurality of spaced outwardly extending protrusions are associated with these spaced openings. These spaced protrusions provide added support to the support members 67 when the gripping fingers 73 are inserted into
openings 27. Although this arrangement is quite effective, this rack uses a hook that could be dislodged when a product is removed from suspension from the hook. - U.S. Pat. No. 5,502,277 discloses a display hook and rack combination wherein a display rack has a plurality of spaced openings into which support fingers of a hook may be inserted. The rack has spaced protrusions thereon associated with the spaced openings and engaging the face plate of the hook providing support and stabilization to the hook so that it cannot be easily dislodged when a product, suspended on the hook, is removed therefrom.
- It can be seen from the foregoing patents that firm support and stabilization of display hooks, which carry products being displayed thereon, is a serious problem in the display rack art. There is a need for display racks which can support a variety of different shaped hooks thereon in a firm and stabilized manner.
- It is an object of this invention to provide a display rack and hook combination that supports a variety of different shaped hooks in a firm and stabilized manner.
- These and other objects of the invention are preferably accomplished by providing a display rack and hook combination comprising a rack adapted to be hung on a pre-existing wire frame. The rack has a plurality of spaced slots therein in horizontally and vertically aligned rows. Support fixtures having products suspended therefrom may be inserted into these slots. The support fixtures are of various shapes and have face plates configured to snap into the slots and hold the fixtures in a firm and stabilized manner so products can be hung therefrom.
